| 1 | Depression and anxiety levels in therapy-nave patients with inflammatory bowel disease and cancer of the colon显示文摘AIM: To assess whether depression and anxiety are more expressed in patients with the first episode of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) than in individuals with newly discovered cancer of the colon (CCa). METHODS: A total of 32 patients with IBD including 13 males and 19 females, aged 27 to 74, and 30 patients with CCa including 20 males and 10 females, aged 39-78, underwent a structured interview, which comprised Hamilton’s Depression Rating Inventory, Hamilton’s Anxiety Rating Inventory and Paykel’s Stressful Events Rating Scale. RESULTS: Patients of the IBD group expressed both depression and anxiety. Depressive mood, sense of guilt, psychomotor retardation and somatic anxiety were also more pronounced in IBD patients. The discriminant function analysis revealed the total depressive score was of high importance for the classification of a newly diagnosed patient into one of the groups. CONCLUSION: Newly diagnosed patients with IBD have higher levels of depression and anxiety. Moreover, a psychiatrist in the treatment team is advisable from the beginning. | Branislav R Filipovi Branka F Filipovi Mirko Kerkez Nikola Milini Tomislav Ran■elovi | 2007 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2007，13，3： | 10 |
| 2 | Comparison of two nutritional assessment methods in gastroenterology patients显示文摘AIM:To investigate and compare efficacy and differences in the nutritional status evaluation of gastroenterology patients by application of two methods:subjective global assessment(SGA) and nutritional risk index(NRI).METHODS:The investigation was performed on 299 hospitalized patients,aged 18-84 years(average life span 55.57 ± 12.84),with different gastrointe-stinal pathology,admitted to the Department of Gastroenterohepatology,Clinical and Hospital Center 'Bezanijska Kosa' during a period of 180 d.All the patients,after being informed in detail about the study and signing a written consent,underwent nutritional status analysis,which included two different nutritional indices:SGA and NRI,anthropometric parameters,bioelectrical impedance analysis,and biochemical markers,within 24 h of admission.RESULTS:In our sample of 299 hospitalized patients,global malnutrition prevalence upon admission varied from 45.7% as assessed by the SGA to 63.9% by NRI.Two applied methods required different parameters for an adequate approach:glucose level(5.68 ± 1.06 mmol/L vs 4.83 ± 1.14 mmol/L,F = 10.63,P = 0.001);body mass index(26.03 ± 4.53 kg/m2 vs 18.17 ± 1.52 kg/m2,F = 58.36,P < 0.001);total body water(42.62 ± 7.98 kg vs 36.22 ± 9.32 kg,F = 7.95,P = 0.005);basal metabolic rate(1625.14 ± 304.91 kcal vs 1344.62 ± 219.08 kcal,F = 9.06,P = 0.003) were very important for SGA,and lymphocyte count was relevant for NRI:25.56% ± 8.94% vs 21.77% ± 10.08%,F = 11.55,P = 0.001.The number of malnourished patients rose with the length of hospital stay according to both nutritional indices.The discriminative function analysis(DFA) delineated the following parameters as important for prediction of nutritional status according to SGA assessment:concentration of albumins,level of proteins,SGA score and body weight.The DFA extracted MAMC,glucose level and NRI scores were variables of importance for the prediction of whether admitted patients would be classif ied as well or malnourished.CONCLUSION:SGA showed higher sensitivity to predictor factors.Assessment of nutritional status requires a multidimensional approach,which includes different clinical indices and various nutritional param eters. | Branka F Filipovi Milan Gaji Nikola Milini Branislav Milovanovi Branislav R Filipovi Mirjana Cvetkovi Nela ibali | 2010 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2010，16，16： | 9 |
